Mango Soba Noodle Salad packed with gently cooked greens and finished with a tangy chilli and lime dressing.

It has been a while since my last recipe post, I couldn’t resist these new season sweet mangoes, so I have for you today a deliciously simple soba noodle salad in a tangy chilli and lime dressing.

Although quite substantial in and of itself, I marinated some firm tofu chunks in tamari and sriracha (best combo), pan fried them, then served with this green bean, cucumber and mint salad.

Soba Noodle Salad recipe ready to serve

Mango Soba Noodle Salad

Traditionally, soba noodles are made from buckwheat flour or a combination of buckwheat and wheat. So if you are gluten free or gluten sensitive, check the label before you buy them.

Because I’m constantly advocating to crowd in as much low-starch vegetables as humanly possible in a day (8 cups is ideal!), there is a generous amount of fresh spinach slightly wilted and folded through, which isn’t a typical feature in a soba noodle salad.

By all means leave it out and use some more traditional ingredients like thinly sliced cabbage or carrot.

Chilli and Lime Dressing

The dressing is a bit of winner. One of my biggest supermarket gripes is the cost of limes - $1 per – and all for very little juice.

So here’s a great hack for you – use lemon juice to get the acidity, then add a few drops of lime essential oil to jazz it up.

There are 6 drops of lime oil in my recipe – totalling 50c for the lot – much better!

doTERRA’s lime essential oil is cold pressed from the rind of the fruit. It is also delicious in guacamole, green smoothies or tomato salsas.

Mango Soba Noodle Salad: make it a balanced meal

  • Add protein – marinated tofu cubes or thinly sliced tempeh cooked in a little coconut oil
  • Add more greens – we enjoyed it with mixed salad greens, mint, cucumber and avocado
  • Be generous with the fresh coriander on top!

Ingredients
  

Mango Soba Noodle Salad

  • 200 g soba noodles
  • 3 shallots diced
  • 3 inch piece red chilli deseeded and sliced fine
  • 6 cups spinach fresh
  • 1 mango
  • 1 red capsicum
  • fresh coriander to serve

Chilli and Lime Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon brown rice vinegar
  • Juice of half a large lemon
  • 2 teaspoons tamari gluten free soy sauce
  • 1-2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
  • 6 drops doTERRA lime essential oil
  • 1 teaspoon chilli flakes
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions
 

  • To make the dressing, combine all ingredients in a cup and whisk together.
  • De-seed and finely slice the capsicum, peel and finely slice the mango.
  • Wash spinach, remove any tough stalks, roughly chop and set aside.
  • Cook the soba noodles as per packet instructions then set aside in a large bowl.
  • Add a teaspoon of the dressing to a fry pan and cook the shallots and chilli till soft and golden. Transfer to the soba noodles and toss.
  • Add another teaspoon of the dressing to the pan and cook the spinach till just wilted down.
  • Transfer to the soba noodles, add the remaining dressing, capsicum and mango, toss well to combine.
  • Season with a little sea salt and sprinkle with fresh coriander to serve. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Soba is either made entirely from buckwheat (gluten free) or a blend of buckwheat with wheat (not gluten free), check the packet if you need it to be gluten free
  • You can omit the spinach and use thinly sliced cabbage, carrot and red onion instead
  • If you want to present it beautifully, reserve a few of the ingredients and place directly on top of the noodles before serving for maximum impact
  • Add tofu or tempeh for extra protein
  • This does need to be seasoned with sea salt to your liking once done
